Queen Quet Releases Gullah/Geechee Novel Duet

Gullah/Geechee Nation ♦ January 6, 2020 ♦ 3 Comments

Queen Quet, Chieftess of the Gullah/Geechee Nation (www.QueenQuet.com) has authored 16 books that have been published. This includes her latest releases that premiered at Barnes & Nobles during the “Gullah/Geechee Holy Days Celebration 2019.” Queen Quet has made ourstory, herstory, and history by releasing two novels at the same time and by being a native Gullah/Geechee to release novels that include the Gullah/Geechee language.

“We Journey” and “Gwine Home” are both Gullah/Geechee family sagas set on the Sea Islands. Youths in both books learn their culture and their family stories from the elders in their families while also alerting their family members to the environmental changes happening around them. From battling climate change and sea level rise to hurricanes and destructionment, these two novels bring out how native Gullah/Geechees that are holding onto their land come together to face these issues that continue to encroach on the sustainability of the Gullah/Geechee Nation.

Queen Quet says to the many native Gullah/Geechees living around the world,

“E time fa we tek we journey and gwine home!”

If you can’t get to the Sea Islands, these two novels will bring the Gullah/Geechee culture to you. So, gwine ta www.GullahGeechee.biz or to one of these special booksignings fa git alltwo!
